SUSTAINABILITYMAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

Aladdin recognizes the importance of sustaining and improving how we work to guard our natural resources while constantly improvingproductivity to ensure quality and innovative products.

Meal Delivery Service System Initiative

Aladdin is a leader in designing systems that are energy and productivity efficient.

By way of example,Aladdin Heat on Demand induction systems integrate a 90% energy efficient transfer technology along with a proven82% energy reduction when replacing the previous meal delivery system. Unlike most other meal delivery systems, there are no pre-heatingbases in convected air heaters that take 60-90 minutes to heat. Our various induction systems, using these advanced induction technologies,allow for the heating process to take from only 10 to 19 “seconds” depending on the model chosen.

In fact, with our new Advantage induction system there is also no pre-heating of the china entrée dish either! The simplicity and sustainabilityare further enhanced with its operational and energy efficiencies.

Aladdin has cook chill systems that allow for energy efficiency by cooking and chilling a significant number of meals at the same time. Withconvection, Aladdin can cook and chill 20, 24 or 30 meals at the same time. Aladdin conduction systems allow for 16, 20, or 24 meals to becooked and chilled at the same time. Efficiencies are further enhanced by the offering of several different types of refrigeration from air cooledto water cooled options with the ability to also locate compressors remotely.

Obsolete/Scrap inventory/Utility Efficiencies

Aladdin disposable manufacturing operation has virtually no scrap after the manufacture of our disposable items. All the polystyrene trimis ground and reused in our plant. 40,000 to 60,000 pounds of injection molding scrap is sold to other parties for recycling annually. Inaddition, some tray models are made from polyolefins that may be reground, pelletized and recycled into a variety of post-consumer useproducts.

Aladdin sells almost all of its scrap metal, corrugated boxes, and discarded paper to local recyclers. Whenever possible, Aladdin will userecycled corrugated boxes and paper for packaging its products.

Aladdin has been able to reduce its “waste stream” (solid waste that we cannot recycle) by 15% on the most recent year over yearcomparison while growing annual volume. Our goal is to continue to make these improvements annually.

In recognition that every product has “its day to sell”, Aladdin is respectful about selling obsolete or slow moving items. Aladdinaggressively prices and then posts these items to its Aladdin Clearance Value Center on our web-site at www.aladdintemprite.com. In the eventthat the products do not sell, Aladdin will donate them to church, civic, or charity groups.

While increasing overall volume, Aladdin has been able to reduce its electrical utility usage by 4% on a year over year basis.

Clean Air Focus

All Aladdin manufacturing facilities comply with governmental standards including OSHA, EPA, as well as State and local coderequirements. CFC free blowing agents are used for all insulated products. Aladdin rethermalization and air curtains utilize R404A refrigerantwhich is ozone friendly.

Clean Water/Non Hazardous Materials

Aladdin has no process waste water. Aladdin engineers are experienced in providing products that allow for ease in cleaning and handling.By way of example, our products are designed for use with standard commercial detergents which do not contain phosphates or other chemicalsthat can harm waterways, wildlife, and water systems.

Aladdin polystyrene and polypropylene products are certified to contain no hazardous materials, including Bisphenol A (BPA).

Manufacturing and sourcing in the United States

Aladdin corporate office located in Hendersonville, Tennessee is committed to source its raw materials from local suppliers first and then toothers located within the United States. Currently, we have six suppliers that we conduct businesses with that are located within MiddleTennessee. In addition, we maintain relationships with six minority owned suppliers located in various parts of the country. Keeping ourmanufacturing and suppliers close to home stimulates efficiencies and cost savings.
